Mango Tree

 When asked by "my family", really just my oldest sister and my mum, what I would like from Santa I told them fruit tree.   Today I got to select a fruit tree.  There was a paucity out varieties on offer as per our society's lack of diversity.... but I did select a Bowen variety mango.  Bowen in north  Queensland Is pretty much the home of mangoes in Australia and this variety had been bred as a mainstay of the commercial farms.  I'm sure they don't buy stock for $37 a pop, but there you go.   Add I popped my new baby into my daughter's fuel efficient buzz-box car,  a got a little warm and fuzzy! There are few thing that make me W&F of late,  so it got me by surprise.                             Bowen the Mango & Sam. the Omnivorous Layers  of cynicism melted away as I gazed assert this beautiful life form.  As I cast forward mind forward to it's...

Route Planning

 A FB friend posted that she had 2 weeks off at Christmas and had too many route plans swishing about in her head that she was feeling paralysed. I think she was expressing a bit of how many of us were feeling,  "post" Covid and all.  Anyway, all the boys threw further options at her, probably only creating more stuckness, which I found kinda funny. Then,  surprisingly (not),  a woman made an almost Zen  suggestion: "Just go out of your door and keep pedaling". It made me think how when going for recreational rides I will often abandon a route plan on a whim and enjoy the ride.  Afterwards I can reflect on how I wasted energy planning only to have the road our weather take me away.   That's me done. I have a basic direction,  North East to East. We'll see then
